Which AI generated slop are you?

Well I'm forty now and about 6 months ago I decided that after nearly 30 years of listening to metal music I was going to finally learn how to do harsh vocals/metal screaming. Still an enormous amateur, and I have a lot to learn, but basically just this week I finally got to the point where I don't hate listening to my own screams.

So uh, whatever you wanna call that midlife crisis, that's mine.

Music 🎼🎵🎶

More specifically: playing the instruments: drum, piano/keyboard, clarinet, guitar, whatever else 🥁🎹🎸🎷🎺🎻🪗🪘🎛️

Bonus points for "getting back to", as in: something you got a start as a young fella but then life happens and you stopped doing it, and now that your bone aches when it is cold your mind went to old times when life felt brighter.

Did I speedrun a midlife crisis in my 20s? 🤔 Never did pickleball, but that's pretty synonymous with retirees over 60 in my corner of the world.

Japan...

i just really freaking love public transportation infrastructure

i want to ride ALL THE TRAINS

Nani the fuck did you just fucking iimasu about watashi, you chiisai bitch desuka? Watashi’ll have anata know that watashi graduated top of my class in Nihongo 3, and watashi’ve been involved in iroirona Nihongo tutoring sessions, and watashi have over sanbyaku perfect test scores. Watashi am trained in kanji, and watashi is the top letter writer in all of southern California. Anata are nothing to watashi but just another weaboo. Watashi will korosu anata the fuck out with vocabulary the likes of which has never been mimasu’d before on this continent, mark watashino fucking words. Anata thinks anata can get away with hanashimasing that kuso to watashi over the intaaneto? Omou again, fucker. As we hanashimasu, watashi am contacting watashino secret netto of otakus across the USA, and anatano IP is being traced right now so you better junbishimasu for the ame, ujimushi. The ame that korosu’s the pathetic chiisai thing anata calls anatano life. You’re fucking shinimashita’d, akachan.

What do I do if mine's not on here? What kind of mid-life-crisis is this?

Does HRT count

I got the bonus 5th one: Linux

Add gardening, birdwatching, golf, volunteering?

Hufflepuff.

Wait a minute...

No, I stand by it. Just replace the badger with a blunt.

I don't see "an increasingly difficult to ignore urge to bomb an oil pipeline" on here.

I'm turning into a bog witch

I've let like half my yard grow out and turn into a de facto butterfly garden. I've got a birdbath where I leave shineys for the crow. It's going pretty well, I recommend it.

My midlife crisis: I bought a ten year old car and started fixing it myself.

I have bloody knuckles and bruised forearms and now a pretty bad oil leak but I replaced that goddamn turbo.

Cycling, linux and archery

You forgot about bouldering / rock climbing

Smoking meats

Where's the "Reclusive hermit" one.

None of the above?

Strength training and returned to a hobby of my younger years - cars.

E: wouldn’t even call it a midlife crisis. Just finally having a little time to have a hobby and understanding that being healthy will extend what quality years I have left.

私も攻撃されたと感じる。。。

Japan? Does that just mean travel?

I guess running. About 4 years ago, I started on the treadmill with an exhausting 30min/mi. Earlier this week I completed my first 7min/mi. Along the way, I added a 28min/5k@1.5% and am working on a 60min/10k (today did 62min/10k).

Where is the one for dating someone 15-20 years younger than you?

Fuck, right as I got back into manga and anime...

But it's mostly rock climbing really.

I fell into running...hard. I went from almost no physical exercise to running marathons over the space of 2 years. Did my first 100km ultra in December.

Le sigh. Grad school

BDSM. I have integrated pretty quickly into the local community, and I'm a regular at munches and play parties.

I'm only 33, a bit young for midlife crisis, but I've gotten into ham radio. I think it's probably the most I've spent on a hobby. Even budget radios that can communicate over the horizon are pretty pricey.

Edit: The most I've spent on a hobby to get started on a hobby, that is. I've definitely sank much more money into video games and when I played it Magic the Gathering.

Homeassistant/homelab, Nintendo Switch with the kids, getting back into playing bass, and Walking

I feel like I'm doing the midlife crisis thing wrong. I'm factionless atm. I'm also too tired to have a crisis. My time is spent going to work and trying to survive in a field that is increasingly difficult to survive in.

I'm jealous some people have time and energy to have a full on crisis on the side. You lucky, lucky bastards.

Where is the drinking and BBQing one?
